Digital Infrastructure Group

Charge

The Digital Infrastructure Group (previously known as Digital Content Coordinators) are charged to 1) develop a robust digital preservation strategy for the UO Libraries and work with Library Administration and digital content providers to implement it; 2) discuss, review, and make decisions about policies and guidelines; 3) make recommendations to Library Administration about the resources needed to support digital collections (e.g., labor, equipment, software, etc.); 4) serve as advisers to other members of the library or campus community in the planning and creation of digital collections; and 5) make recommendations to Library Administration about which proposals it strongly supports, supports or considers not ready.

Membership

While membership of the Digital Content Coordinators group may change, it will always include representatives from both the Access and Collections and Instructional Services divisions. The individuals named to the group bring varied experience to the group, including expertise in: selection of content, provision of access to library materials, application of metadata standards, creation of digital content, technology, licensing of content, instruction and outreach, management of resources, grant writing, and project development and management.

Most coordinators have designated an alternate who can make decisions in their absence. Coordinators who have not designated an alternate have agreed that the work of the group can continue even if they are unable to attend a specific meeting.

We are currently restructuring our membership and voting process.

Current voting members and their alternates are:

• Mark Watson, Associate University Librarian for Collections & Access (acting head)
• Eliz Breakstone, Law Collections Librarian (member)
• Sara Brownmiller, Director, Library Systems (member)
• Duncan Barth, Library Network Manager, Library Systems (alternate)
• Bob Felsing, East Asian Bibliographer, CDA (member)
• Normandy Helmer, Access & Preservation Officer, Special Collections & University Archives (member)
• J.D. Hauger, Information Technology Consultant 2, Media Services (alternate)

Many other people active in the creation of Digital Infrastructure attend the DIG meetings. If you are interested in attending a meeting or discussing a digital project, please contact the diglib discussion list.

Meetings and Communication

The group meets the third Monday of every month from 2:00-3:30 in the Rowe Conference Room. Other work is conducted via the diglib discussion list and in smaller working groups and task forces. All DIG meetings will be advertised and open to any interested member of the UO Libraries. Click here to view meeting minutes.
